Please check out my Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner Menu which includes Cranberry Sauce with Raspberry Vinegar.
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup raspberry vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 (12-ounce) package cranberries (fresh or frozen)*
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoon orange peel (zest), thinly sliced
-
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, raspberry vinegar, and water; bring to a boil, stirring just until all sugar dissolves.
-
Add the cranberries, cinnamon stick, and orange peel (zest). Reduce heat to low, cover partially with a lid, and let simmer approximately 10 minutes or until ALL the cranberries burst. Be careful when boilinng, because the sauce can foam up and can spill, so you have to watch it.
-
NOTE: Cranberries have a lot of natural pectin, the ingredient that makes cooked fruit gel. To release that pectin, you need to cook the berries until they burst and can form a bond with the sugar. Boil the mixture until it is thickened and then do not refrigerate the mixture until it is cooled to room temperature.
-
Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely (sauce will thicken as it cools) before refrigerating. Discard cinnamon stick.
-
Cover and refrigerate.
-
NOTE: Can be made up to one week in advance.
-
Yields 2 1/3 cups.
* Discard any cranberries that are soft, shriveled, withered, or discolored, and remove any stems. They should be shiny and plump and range in color from bright light red to dark red. One 12-ounce bag equals approximately three cups of whole berries.

Cranberry Relish
Ben Weller, my son-in-law, makes this wonderful family recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. He uses the traditional method of grinding with an old hand-crank grinder. His mother, Joan Weller, told me (in confidence) that you do not really need to use a food grinder (you can use a food processor). It was her way of keeping her sons busy and out of the way when she was fixing the holiday dinner.

Here is a very pretty quick bread to make now and then freeze for later use. During the holidays, you will be very thankful to have a few of these loaves in your freezer to give as gifts and to serve your guests. This is also a great recipe to use those “large” zucchini that seem to grow overnight!
